Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Star man goes out on a limb. Some photographers will really go out on a limb to get a good picture. Award-winning Star photographer Bob Olsen, 51, ignored the fact that he has back problems and climbed a tree to get a pretty picture of a model lying on a beach towel for today's Home section page. The shot needed a high elevation, straight-down viewpoint, said Olsen, who became a professional photographer in 1949 and has worked for The Star for 17 years. [Incomplete]
